As computing becomes more ubiquitous in our objects, designers need to be more aware of how to design meaningful interactions into electronically enhanced objects. At the University of Washington, a class of junior Interaction Design majors is exploring this question. These pages chronicle their efforts.

Week 8

Amy & Amy


Our project has really started to come together this week. We have constructed our sensor and figured out how to solder a more refined version of our "expressive hoodie" with the LED's. 
We are now fusing around with the code, making decisions on what would be the best outcome for the pressure sensor. There are two routes we could go:


1) Be able to 'toggle' through different colors and fade in and out. 
2) Have the amount of pressure correlate to the color; for example, a light touch would be blue, whereas a medium amount of pressure would fade to green, and very high pressure would be red.


We are leaning towards the second outcome in this instance. Overall, a very productive week.
